The lack of screeching metal music and macho fist pumps makes this and all your other videos First Class. Way to go. Thank you.

I have yet to ever hunt personally but thank you for taking me on your adventure. You really add the passion and traditions to your storytelling. Thank you.

This was therapeutic and inspiring, excellent work!

You guys are really raising the bar with the quality of your videos. Well done!

Home recovering from pneumonia and can't tell you how much I enjoyed your time in the woods.

The people that down voted this lack imagination. This video is amazing without a word ever being spoken.

John brings it all to us and i mean every aspect of being out in the woods there's no one out there that makes videos this thorough and organic. Thank you John God Bless

Hands down, the best DEER HUNTER on KZfaq.

What a great video Sir!! I grew up in Forest County (Tionesta), and did a lot of hunting and fishing! My first deer season was late flintlock! My father purchased a Thompson Center Hawken kit and we built it together in our basement. A few years later he gave me a Renegade kit for my birthday!! Lots of great memories!

ABSOLUTELY one of the BEST VIDEOS IVE EVER WATCHED.

Easily this is one of my favorite videos on KZfaq. Except for the camera, everything is true to mid 18th century hunting. I’ve watched the video several times. Thanks.

greetings ,love & respect from a Syrian hunter ..I think next time I go hunting I'll wear such a garment the way you did ..inspiring video ..charming nature sounds

Y'all are top notch.

Nothing beats traditional hunting like this.

Thanks for preserving how my ancestors lived. Makes me proud to be American!

The way that you present the video is spot on and great. It’s both entertaining but somewhat soothing with the scenery that is shown. This is one channel I can turn to for a break from adrenaline inducing music and exciting content.

I literally cannot say anything but good about this video ,beautiful scenery with a quiet tasteful efficient hunt and at the end showing respect for the Deer !

Not the first time I’ve watched this but some of the shots you captured in this film are just unreal, especially that shot of you walking through the fog!

That fog scene was so cool

This is one of the best hunting videos I have ever seen.

Very few things in life are as cool as time travelling straight into youtube era. Except that trick with the blanket robe. That's pretty amazing.

I love watching this video periodically. I really want a flintlock this year, and want to get everything I can up here with it. Bear, moose, wolf, sheep, bison, muskox, etc. One shot and make it count.

Bravo! One of the best hunting videos out there...

You are the Man! I love your videos man. I Know this is 3 yrs old. But it's like watching a mountain man hunt 200 yes ago. Absolutely Awesome!

I enjoy all your hunts, but this one is my favorite. I think you did a great job capturing an early American settlers hunt. I particularly liked the coat you made and the firestarter was fantastic. Beautiful flintlock and perfect shot. Thanks!

really enjoy your videos. and it's great to know that you're a Christian brother.

Awesome video John!, wait all year for these late season flintlock hunts

Beautiful!!!! Thanks for sharing and taking time to film the beautiful scenery.

John, this is just one of the most beautiful videos on primitive trekking and hunting. Some of these scenes wouldn't have looked at all out of place in The Revenant. It's a sacrifice hauling filming gear around the woods, setting up camera shots, while setting up rifle shots. I'm sure all of use here are grateful for your work though!

Thanks for an insight on how deer hunting was done many moons ago.I won’t ever complain again about how hard deer hunting can be even with all the modern rifles and associated hi tech gear that us modern hunters and bush users bog ourselves down with these days. Cheers from Victoria, Australia. PS- I love the wool blanket set up.

You know what that was probably the best hunting video I ever saw with the old flintlock I love it and then you had even had a deal leather clothes on and that he’ll throw over you to keep the flintlock from getting wet that was great thanks for that video

After all of the chaos that the our beautiful country and the world have been going through, this video makes more sense than any of us will see for the next years to come. God Bless 🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏😇

I just found this channel. Simply amazing. I was mesmerized watching this traditional flintlock hunt. Made me yearn to be there with you sir. Thank you for taking the time to make such an amazing quality video. Awesome hunt and the period correct clothing is superb. God bless you sir and many great hunts for you in the future. Thanks for letting us tag along in spirit. Just subscribed to the channel!

Man I love being in the woods!! Great video! Makes me want to drop everything and head to deer camp!!

great video...my favorite PA season.

This is the real mankind

Quickly turning a blanket into a practical, cozy coat was something I'd never seen before. .... It was awesome.

Got some serious The Revenant vibes. Nice.

Great job filming this video, really captured the essence of your hunt and surrounding woodland!

I like just a simple video without crazy music. I watch a lot of your videos. Good stuff.

Well sir, not only are you a master hunter but a master cinematographer

Beautiful work. Thank you. Feel like I was there with you, I miss hunting, stuck in prairie, that is where I always wanted to be, such as where you were at. thank you for the virtual hunt, and the amazing cinematography.

Great footage. You really did a good job editing it as well.

I really enjoy all of your traditional hunting videos. I wish my state had a flintlocks only hunting season, or at least enough deer to make hunting worthwhile. But thanks for showing how it could be.

Thanks again for taking us with you back to a simpler time. Excellent videography and it didn't look easy. Good kill. Enjoy the fruits of your labor

You should come up to Maine and hunt with us! Thanks for all the videos. Really enjoy them.

Been waiting for this video! Great job man, your a heck of a shot with a flintlock!

love the footage ...great video

Always an excellent job of camera work and scenery. Love the wool blanket coat and blanket pin.

Love your videos! Great job with the filming of this the added scenes of the ice and everything is great. I look forward to more

I like the whole recreation of the equipment of the time , very well done.

Outstanding,well done from start to finish!

Wow you multi talented your videos are superb and hunting skills are also no matter what weapon you use, outstanding job,hats off to you, Best of Luck always and thanks for sharing your videos.

Just a wonderful video. So many videos are made just so the person making the video can hear themselves talk. Your video put me in the wood with you. I admire your skill as a hunter and videographer.

Awesome Video! Great job of making it!!!!

I love this video never gets old. Hunting how it is supposed to be done!

great photography. nice work. thanks for uploading.

Just absolutely wonderful video. You truly represented mountain man and his life in this video. Great stuff.

What a great job you did on this. Beyond belief of awesome!

I subbed today. Mainly because your videos are short and to the point. There are to many who would drag a vid like this out to 45 minuets.

I know I’m late to the party, but when he was walking through the fog I almost thought I was watching a French and Indian War/Revolutionary War film.

I'm also from Western Pa. I love our outdoors here in our beautiful state. Great Hunt...Great video.

What beautiful scenery and and a terrific hunting video.

Another great video! Loved the fog scene!!

Great video as always!

I miss Pa. I miss the land and mountains. Love the conten keep it up.

Man, this was a great and refreshing video. Really enjoyed it. Take care.

Beautifully done. Poetic.

Best hunting video I've seen. You've inspired me

Beautiful scenery, use to hunt and hike and fish the adirondacks upstate NY, brought back memories.

How you came out of that fog looked amazing. Nice shot

Very nice video. I really enjoyed it.

Love it!! And no bs music!!!

Great history hunting outift John!!

Beautiful video !! i love this kind of hunting. the good old way of hunting. hunting with a flintlock or a bow is more real.

Great video! I could see the joy on your face when you got the doe. I'd be elated, too!

Hi John, As always...documentary quality filming! Absotutely beautiful woods to still hunt through! You always make us feel like we are right there with you!!! As this portrayal would have been an every day thing at one time, was impressed with how the longhunter returned, to "his" sheltered "fire spot" to relax and warm his self! Loved the blanket shawl/ coat that kept him warm and his powder dry! Did you pass on the nice buck so he could grow?? Thank you! My only regret is that I won't live long enough to see you hit your peak at huntin and filmin in 15 to 20 years Sir! Very impressive John. Bless you and yours..... Old John

That doe= "Longer than the rifle !" Nice hunt sequences.

that's living brother!
